Bernie Wrightson is one of the most acclaimed horror artist's of all time.

His work on Swamp Thing and many DC mystery books are hailed as classics of the form, but his undisputed masterpiece is Frankenstein, illustrated from the Mary Shelley novel.

Chief among these stories, and with the beginnings of the style he adopted for Frankenstein, was The Muck Monster.

As with all Artist's Editions books or portfolios, the original art is meticulously scanned in color and from the actual original art.
